Battle for The City Center

Kicking off the ground, the massive claw's on his hand's dangling at his side. Ignis rushes toward the wolves'. Both of them leap and tandem to meet him in midair, drawing both of his hands upwards. He lands' on the ground, Massive gashes on the flanks of the wolves' they round on him charging again.

Ignis faces off with them. Leaping to the side, his clawed hands piercing into the wolves chest. They bounce off the ground, The second wolf following through with a second attack. Ignis's arm pinned beneath the wolf he'd kill.

Kicking his foot up, using the momentum of the wolf. He kick's it over his head, the resounding crunch as it slam's headfirst into the wall. Yanking his arm from beneath the dead Wolf, he turns to look at the wolf. His arms ready to block another attack, seeing it's head smashed into the wall, it's body dangling.

Ignis walks back down the alleyway, seeing the man's wounds all closed. He looks at the paladin, "I plan to stay and continue clearing monsters, Are you going to escort them to a safe zone?"

Stella comes to stand by Ignis, "Are you sure you want to stay while we escort them?"

Ignis nod's his head, "Have you figured out how to use your abilities yet?"

"No, not yet," Stella shakes her head, placing a hand on his chest. "Be careful out there, I can't wait to train with you." She gives a bright smile, the kids run up holding her hands, as the paladin picks up the man.

"Right then, I'll come back as soon as this is done." The paladin nod's once, leading Stella and the civilians out of the alleyway.

The sounds' of battle traveling through the air, Ignis run's towards the ongoing fighting. The massive structure looming in front of him, with three openings'. Blue fire lite on each of the brazer's, of which there are 6 on the path in front of each opening.

Groups of Goblins' Kobolds, and Wolves clash against the wall of Hunter's, Ignis let's lose with a battle cry. Leaping over the defensive line, he draws the attention of the Hunters. Landing feet first into a kobold's chest he sends it flying backwards. Moving quickly, as he uses his claw's to maim the monster's limbs.

His upper body covered in blood, small wounds marking his skin. A thin layer of armor forms over his abdomen, as his bladed hand's tear through a Kobold's arm. Planting a kick into its chest, he watches it fall to the ground twitching.

A gray blur enters his vision from the right, a large kobold's hand swings for his head. Ducking down, he slices into its rib's with his left hand. As it reels in pain, he pierces his hand into its chest.

Sudden heavy footsteps' echo from within the closest door, the outline of a massive humanoid monster greets everyone's sight.

"That's an Orc!" Comes a shout from the crowd, "Ranged troops hit it with everything you have!" the voice continues issuing commands.

Holding his hand out in front of himself, Ignis closes' his eyes. A clear Image of a Spear with a brilliant red blade, forms in his mind. Slowly melding together, it forms a 4 foot long spear. A solid hilt of earth the blade sharp and superheated by the magma. His eye's glowing a brilliant red, as they snap open.

The hulking figure of the orc pauses in the entryway, before releasing a guttural roar. It steps through the massive opening of the door, beginning to run. Ignis draws back his arm, his attack one of many that fly towards the orge. Aiming for the ogres chest, he releases it with a brilliant flash of red. It sinks deep into the center of the beasts chest among many other attacks.

The orc cough's massive pools of blood as it falls to its knees, roaring in pain. Ignis forms his gauntlet into a massive ball, kicking off the ground, he runs up the Ogre's arm. Leaping into the air, his arm's drawing beautiful red arch's through the sky. He slams down into the end of the spear, driving it through the Ogre's heart.

Cheer's echo around him, before battle starts' again. Monster's still come swarming from the Wolve's portal, the other two entrances barren areas'. Dead corpse's liter the ground

The ogre's body sags to the ground, Standing up. Ignis throws his arms out, "Push them back!" He shouts into the crowd, a wild look in his eyes and he moves deeper into the throng of creatures. The adrenaline like fire in his veins', as his body moves on it's own.

Among the clashes of battle, a distant thunder begin's to roll. Billowing storm clouds, once in the horizon, now releasing torrents' of rain. The gutter's fill with pinkish water, the storm cleansing the battlefield drop by drop. The hunter's who've been fighting for hour's, surrounded by a haze of steam as cool water coats their bodies.

High in the sky, Valeria, Eric, Elaine, and Jerald stand. Watching the flashes of red that continuously slice and cut through the monsters.

Jerald starts laughing heartily, "I knew that boy would be taking part, but I never imagined this!"

Eric stare's at Ignis's form, the large claws and boots the only part of his body he formed the magma on. "He's purely focused on killing as many as he can. It's almost like he's berserk." Erics calm analysis resounds in the area, "I just don't comprehend how he has mana left if he's been fighting like that this whole time."

Valeria sighs, "The only thing keeping him moving right now, is Leveling. Every time we level we find our stamina and mana regenerated to full. Then there's that bright aura he releases at intervals, it must be a self healing skill. From simply watching his Practical exam, I knew he practiced avoiding fatal blow's. Needless to say, his fighting style is not to unlike a Rabid animal."

Jerald shrugs' his blood boiling to join the fight, "Technique can only be refined bit by bit. Just watching him makes' me feel the thrill of a lifetime."

Elaine nods along with him, "It does in fact remind me of another unrelated, but equally unruly boy," Her mirthful gaze meeting Jeralds.

Meanwhile in the area below, Ignis can be seen sliding backwards across the ground. His feet firmly digging into the ground as he screech's to a halt. Leaning forward he ignores the slightly pain from his rib's, the light in his eyes borderline feral. Slow continuous System alerts flash across his vision, with every level the status points are immediately distributed:
